Be aware that being on Effexor means that going off is a very slow and panic attack process. Don’t use it lightly. I have my wean schedule set up for years worth of small mg wean over 30 days at a time. I tried too fast and it was the worst feeling I have ever had. It also took 2 weeks to feel ok enough after going back on it to even think of weaning.

Has anyone used cannabis to help with withdrawal symptoms from Effexor; like for nausea and sleep? If so, was it the CBD or THC component that you used? Did it help? It seems to help me with nausea and sleep but I am concerned about possible interactions with the Effexor and other meds I am taking.
